In the 1990s, Thompson was filming a movie called “Primary Colors” with John Travolta in Hollywood.

Hilariously, that movie was actually loosely based on the 1992 election of Bill Clinton. Thompson was playing a character based on Hillary Clinton. I'm still too emotionally worn out from 2016 to make a joke about all that.

So Thompson was hanging out in her trailer on the Universal lot.

“I had just been divorced and my decree absolute has just come through, like, the day before,” she said.

Suddenly, the telephone in her trailer started ringing. This was strange because the phone had never rung before.

“I look at it and it's, like, weird. It's like a moose has just entered my trailer,” Thompson explained.

Meanwhile, Trump, too, had just gone through with a separation from second wife Marla Maples. This was, clearly, before the jolly, love-filled Melania days.

Thompson continued,

I lift up the phone. ‘Hi, it's Donald Trump here.'

I said, ‘Really? Can I help you?”

And he said, ‘Yeah, I just you know, I wondered if I could offer you some accommodation in one of my Trump Towers. They're really comfortable.'

But this was clearly just a ruse. The future president went on to ask Thompson to “have dinner sometime.”

“Well, you know, I think we would get on very well,” Trump said, according to Thompson.
